FELIX LESINAIVALU
The timely assistance from the Office of the Prime Minister’s small grants scheme has empowered the teachers, students, parents and the stakeholders of Namalata District School.
This was highlighted by Namalata School Principal Log Nadan during the commissioning of six new quarters by Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama at Namalata District School in Korovou.
“With your support and guidance, we will take Namalata District School to another level, we have already started and changes will be made.”
Mr Nadan said this occasion will be one to re-member for everyone at the school and it will also create a friendly environment that enables job creation and economic growth.
He thanked the Government for its commitment towards education, especially at Namalata District School.
Prime Minister Bainimarama said he was proud to be at the school to deliver what he promised to the school.
“We all know that a good teacher can have a lifelong impact, so we cannot take their comfort or quality of life for granted.”
“With the peace of mind, independence and security, proper housing, your teachers can fully focus on what matters most, teaching.”
“And I’m confident that with this heightened quality of life what they will now bring to the classroom will be felt directly by their students.”
Prime Minister Bainimarama added sometimes, all it takes is that extra push from a motivated teacher to inspire a passion that stays with a young girl or boy for the rest of their life.
“Whenever and wherever I spend time in our country, I treasure the time I spend with communities, learning about their needs and exploring how my Government can help solve their problems.”
“That personal, face-to-face interaction is what I love most about Fiji.”
